Combustion of a fuel like methane
CH4(g) + O2 (g)   →    CO2(g) + H2O(l)

What happens in bonds when a reaction happens?

Reactant bonds are broken and product bonds are formed

How well did you know this?

Not at all

Perfectly

What do you need to break bonds?

Energy so bond breaking is endothermic ΔH is positive

Stronger bonds take more energy to break

Perfectly

What happens when bonds are formed?

Energy is released so bond making is exothermic ΔH if negative
Stronger bonds release more energy when they form

What’s Enthalpy change for a reaction

The overall sum of these two changes
If you need more energy bonds then released when bonds made ΔH if positive
If less ΔH is negative

Example of mean bond Enthalpy

Water has two O-H bonds
First bond Enthalpy= +492kJ mol-1
Second bond Enthalpy= +428kJmol-1
Mean bond Enthalpy 492+428/2=+460kJmol-1

Bond enthalpies are?

Always positive because breaking bonds is always endothermic

What happens in a chemical reaction during bond formation?

Energy absorbed to break bonds and given out during bond formation

Enthalpy change=

Total energy absorbed-total energy released

What is so because bond energies are averages?

Enthalpy changes aren’t exact

They are slightly less accurate than using Hess’s law

Define standard Enthalpy of formation?

ΔfHo

Is the Enthalpy change when 1 mole of compound is formed from its elements in their standard states

Define standard Enthalpy of combustion

ΔcHo is the Enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is completely burned in oxygen under standard conditions

What can you find out using calorimetry?

Enthalpy change

How can you use calorimetry to find out how much heat is given out by a reaction?

By measuring a temperature

What do you use to find the enthalpy combustion of a flammable liquid? Step 1

You burn it inside a calorimeter?

What do you use to find the enthalpy combustion of a flammable liquid? Step 2

As fuel burns it heats the water You can work out heat energy that has been absorbed by water if you know the mass of water the temperature change and the specific heat capacity of water (4.18Jg-1K-1)

What would ideally happen in calorimetry?

The heat given out by the fuel as it burns would be absorbed by the water allowing you to work out the enthalpy change of combustion exactly

What actually happens in calorimetry?

You always lose some heat so hard to get really accurate result

Formula to calculate enthalpy change from a calorimetry experiment?

q=mcΔT Q= heat lost or gained in joules same as enthalpy change if pressure is constant M= mass of water/ other solution in calorimeter (g) C= specific heat capacity of water (4.18Jg-1K-1) ΔT= change in temperature (K) of water/ solution

What's specific heat capacity of water?

The amount of heat energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1g by 1K

The official ΔT units are K but what are they equal to for change in temperature?

In a laboratory experiment, 1.16g of an organic liquid fuel were completely burned in oxygen. The heat formed during the combustion raised the temperature ΔcHo of the fuel. Mr is 58.0 Step 1

Calculate amount of heat capacity using q=mcΔT | q= 100 x 4.18 x (358-295)= 26334J

In a laboratory experiment, 1.16g of an organic liquid fuel were completely burned in oxygen. The heat formed during the combustion raised the temperature ΔcHo of the fuel. Mr is 58.0 Step 2

Standard enthalpies are always given in kJ mol-1 | Change units of q from joules to kilojoules (26334/1000)= 26.334kJ

In a laboratory experiment, 1.16g of an organic liquid fuel were completely burned in oxygen. The heat formed during the combustion raised the temperature ΔcHo of the fuel. Mr is 58.0 Step 3

Standard enthalpy of combustion is energy produced by burning 1 mole of fuel. So find out how many moles of girl produced this much energy using number of moles= mass/Mr Number of moles of fuel= 1.16/ 58=0.0200

In a laboratory experiment, 1.16g of an organic liquid fuel were completely burned in oxygen. The heat formed during the combustion raised the temperature ΔcHo of the fuel. Mr is 58.0 Step 4

Heat produced by 1 mole of fuel =-26.334/0.0200=-1316.7kJmol-1 -1320kJmol-1

What can calorimetry also be used for?

Calculate enthalpy change for a reaction that happens in solution e.g. Neutralisation, dissolution (dissolving) or displacement

How do you find the enthalpy for a neutralisation reaction?

Add known volume of acid to insulated container (e.g. Polystyrene cup) and measure the temperature Add known volume of alkali and record temperature change (stir solution to make sure it's evenly heated) Work out heat needed to raise temperature of solution q=mcΔT this equals the heat given out by the reaction

What happens if the alkali is solid?

Known mass

What happens if you're mixing two solutions?

Need to include masses of both

What can you assume about all liquids?

Have same density as water since 1cm3 leg water has mass of 1g E.g. 50cm3 of solution Mass=50g for q=mcΔT

What do you need to go if you are trying to find the energy change per mole of reactant?

Moles= concentration (mol dm-3) x volume(dm3) | To find number of moles of substance in a solution

Experimental problems with all calorimetry?

Some heat will be absorbed by container rather than going towards heating up the water Some heat always lost to surroundings during experiment (however well the containers insulated)

Experimental problems that only apply to flammable liquid calorimetry?

Some combustion may be incomplete meaning less energy will be given out Some flammable liquid may escape by evaporation (usually quite volatile)

Hess's law?

Total enthalpy change of a reaction is independent of the route taken

What does ΔrH mean?

The enthalpy change of a reaction

What's Hess's law good for?

Working out enthalpy changes that you can't find directly by doing an experiment

Enthalpy changes of formation are useful for?

Calculating enthalpy change you can't find directly

What do you need to know to use Hess's law?

ΔfHo for all reactants and products that are compounds | ΔfHo for all elements is zero elements being formed from element so no change

For formations ΔrHo?

The sum of ΔfHo (products) - the sum of ΔfHo (reactants) | If big 2 multiple by 2 to get sum

What are standard enthalpy changes measured at?

298K

What happens if you go backwards along an arrow in Hess's law diagram?

Substraction enthalpy change that goes with that arrow | E.g. Could use ΔfHo for ethanol using these routes instead
